Book Review: The Promised Land

I am reviewing a copy of The Promised Land through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:





Abbie Jowett finds herself surrounded by an overwhelming loss.  Her aging Father is loosing his sight and memory, her oldest son is taking gap year in Europe, and now her husband of twenty years tells Abbie he is leaving her.






In a desperate attempt to mend her marriage and herself, Abbie follows her son, Bobby, to walk the famed Camino pilgrimage.  During their journey they encounter Rasa, an Iranian woman working in secret helping other refugees, and Caroline, a journalist who is studying pilgrims on the Camino while searching for answers from her broken past.






Everyone on this pilgrimage has their own reason for for the pilgrimage, but together they learn that the Camino strips you bare and calls you into deep soul-searching that can threaten all your best laid plans.  




If you are looking for a heartwarming, at times heartbreaking, powerful read.  




I give The Promised Land five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
